The Relationships of Spatial Experience, Previous Mathematics Achievement, and Gender with Perceived Ability in Learning Engineering Drawing

The purpose of this research was to examine factors that may influence students’ perceived ability or self-efficacy to learn Engineering Drawing at the foundation year, namely in the Form Four level of the Malaysian secondary schools. The school system in Malaysia consists of primary and secondary levels: the former spans over a period of six years and the latter seven years. Students in Form Four of the secondary school level are equivalent to the tenth graders of the North American school system.
